Working on an SMS crypto trading bot where you can text it trading commands according to whatever exchange you connected to. I've been in many situations where I needed to trade and logging into the exchange on my phone is cumbersome and could sometimes take 3+ minutes, and by then the opportunity is gone.
It is cool because we have a serious stream of data to collect, stream, process and store, and provide users with very fast access to massive datasets.
It started with only live streams (24/7 youtube music channels)
I enjoy lofi youtube mixes when coding, and theres a lot of them.
Currently im adding functionality for users to curate the mixes
I think its cool bc its kind of like a shared youtube playlist for a particular niche, with nice ui, and soon with curation
I used to work at Amazon Web Services (6 years), then VMware (2 years), then at a startup as an early employee/CTO (1 year). My job satisfaction decreased at every step.
I feel so lucky and blessed to be able to work on something that I truly care about, without the usual corporate BS.
Im making an aggregate site for youtube mixes - house, lofi, ect. https://ytradio.xyz/ It started with only live streams (24/7 youtube music channels) I enjoy lofi youtube mixes when coding, and theres a lot of them.

I want to know if you can take a small group of strangers, make them use an app together, and then 5 minutes later have them be best friends.
It's cool because despite how complex people are, our relationships, behaviors, and thoughts follow well-defined patterns.
It's cool because programmers should be able to easily watch their algorithms transforming the data they operate on.
I think this is an area with a lot of potential for seriously improving computer programming: we need better instruments for making observations of dynamic program state (or dynamic database state, etc.). It's kind of an inverse problem to what we've needed in the sciences, though, with microscopes/telescopes etc.: (one of) our problems is that we have too much data, and we need ways of automatically abstracting and presenting just the relevant parts—something like 'abstractoscopes'. This is my attempt at making one.
